I think he mixed Palmerstown with Harmonstown

You never know they might organise a party of drummers from the Artane band to do a drum roll commencing at 1055 so you car hear it happening.

I believe Kay Burley will be reporting live from the show .

For that reason I’m trying to encourage myself to save money on me heating

I hope it's not going to be like the start of the sales after Christmas when the waiting horde is unleashed into the store like greyhound's out of a trap.

That is unfortunate news, it's unfair to blame the customs official as someone who works in the business what one usually finds is someone somewhere has got something wrong a description a code etc as customs have said they have a system and people need to work too that system, instead of blaming the official perhaps they should aim their ire at the geniuses who thought leaving the customs union and single market was a good idea in a bid to improve trade .

in the 1970's everything on the wagon was brown

This is fantastic bargain especially for anyone who wants to try their hands at weathering without feeling that they are going to devalue a precious Tara Model.

You can find plenty of pics on the web here is one of a shale so shows the side strakes

It was a thought, the other possibility is to do the two tara wagons 31026,31027 which were built as shale wagons identified by the extra rib running the length of them. Picture from flicker by Irish Rail Trains

That was my first thought!!!

Great news

Sorry to hear your troubles, good to see you back doing a bit of modelling look after yourself.

That’s one of the oldest tricks in the book tell the guy your interested in buying 400 units he then gives you his best price and then you only order 30 !

That's unfortunate news John.

The wagons look great Patrick top marks, love the insulated van.

Looks super Phillip.

This is a JM Designs planked covered wagon Nice job on the wagons Patrick

Its a Donelli gantry Good thread here on it

And at that time a brand-new coach out of the box.

Very interesting I would imagine it came about as a proposal when they were replacing the 4w TPO's in late 1960's they were eventually replaced with three GSR built coaches sating from 1935 which in turn became 2979,2980 and 2981 it would have been a waste of some fairly new Cravens. The three GSR TPO's built in 1935 converted in 1967/68 soldiered on in service until the early 1990's.

Yes they are great kits to work with and a brilliant way to start with brass . You have done a nice job on them.

Will you be at the show in Dublin in October Leslie .

Yes , 'squeeze' being the operative word!

Yes I stand corrected 'Open Third ' with an additional door added at some point ?
